Math Problem Statement

Solve ∣ 2 x − 3 ∣

1 ∣2x−3∣=1

Solution

To solve the equation 2x3=1|2x - 3| = 1, we need to consider the two possible cases for an absolute value equation.

Case 1: 2x3=12x - 3 = 1

  1. Solve for xx: 2x3=12x - 3 = 1 Add 3 to both sides: 2x=42x = 4 Divide by 2: x=2x = 2

Case 2: 2x3=12x - 3 = -1

  1. Solve for xx: 2x3=12x - 3 = -1 Add 3 to both sides: 2x=22x = 2 Divide by 2: x=1x = 1

Final Solution:

The solutions are x=2x = 2 and x=1x = 1.
